Why generate_web_assets needs a policy

This tool creates or generates website components and content, which are reversible modifications (assets can be updated or deleted). It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or move money. Classified as Write rather than Execute because generation of static/templated assets is a creative operation rather than arbitrary command execution.

From the tool's definition Tool description 'Generate website components and content' indicates creation of assets and components. The verb 'generate' combined with 'website components' suggests creating new digital artifacts that modify website state or create new files/resources.
